This is a satirical political cartoon or drawing that visually represents a critique of wealth inequality and the nature of poverty. The main subject is a grotesque, exaggerated depiction of a **rich, powerful man** (suggested by his pinstripe suit, broad shoulders, and imposing size). He is shown eating a massive quantity of paper money (US dollar bills). His mouth is wide open, overflowing with bills, and he is using a small fork to shovel more money into his mouth. The man has an angry or intense expression, with bulging eyes and a flushed, unhealthy complexion (suggested by the red/pink tones in the skin). He is holding a plate piled high with more money, emphasizing his insatiable consumption. On the rim of the plate, in the lower right, there is a tiny figure of a worker or poor man wearing a hat, holding a bowl, and looking up at the large man. This small figure emphasizes the disparity in size and power. To the right of the central figure, a quote is displayed in large, bold, black text: "Poverty exists not because we can't feed the poor, but because we can't satisfy the rich." The drawing is a clear visual metaphor, suggesting that: 1. The rich have an insatiable appetite for wealth ("eating" money). 2. Their excessive accumulation and consumption of resources is the **direct cause** of poverty, rather than a lack of resources overall.
